Work In Progress

- https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS
- MacbookPro16,2
- Follow Guide to Add to config.plist - https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/icelake.html#platforminfo
3. Boot Installer
- Boot Opencore, select installer, and Install Big Sur. (Youll have to Create a MacOS Big Sur installer)
Notes
- The NVME Drive that comes with this Laptop is a SKHynix 512GB which is not supported by Mac OS, Please replace it as it will not boot with it installed. (I bought a WD SN750 500GB that worked great).
- If the system Crashes, Kernal Panics, or you manually shut it down you will have to re-enter BIOS settings above. (Havent figured out how to save them even if it kernal panics)
- Fixed - Graphics glitches when booting then is completely fine after the first 10-20 or so seconds. (Fixed Thanks to 1OldSWguy)
